Follow your Dreams

Born and based in Lebanon, my relationship with creativity began at an early age. Throughout my childhood and school years, drawing was a constant companion, often filling the margins of daily life with sketches of garments, objects, and imagined forms. My early fascination with fashion led me to formally study fashion design after completing my baccalaureate.

I worked professionally as a fashion designer, creating original sketches for boutiques and designers, designing hand-painted abayas, and producing handmade fabrics shaped entirely by my own creative vision. Painting remained an integral part of my practice, evolving through repetition, variation, and experimentation, and forming a natural bridge between fashion, fabric, and fine art.

Following years marked by economic collapse, political uncertainty, and regional instability, my artistic practice was temporarily interrupted. This period of rupture later became a turning point, leading me to consciously return to art as a space for grounding, reflection, and renewal. During this time, I worked in parallel on paintings and abaya designs, allowing both mediums to coexist and influence one another.

Today, my work centers on mixed media, combining collage and acrylic painting. This approach reflects my multidisciplinary background as well as my lived experience of Lebanon as a place of intersections—between East and West, sea and mountain, tradition and modernity. For me, mixing is not merely a technique, but a visual language rooted in identity, memory, and resilience.
